These are reporting-year averages, not a quote for a particular professional degree or for 2026-27. A student's full cost of attendance can also include housing, food, books, equipment, transportation, health-related charges, and personal expenses. Clinical programs may have additional requirements. Compare the current school-specific tuition schedule and financial aid cost-of-attendance budget before making a borrowing decision.

Grants, scholarships, and other aid can reduce what a student pays. In the 2024-25 figures, undergraduate grant recipients received an average award of $8,643 from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources; that is an average for recipients, not an automatic discount for every student. Eligible applicants can ask the financial aid office how the FAFSA, Maryland aid, institutional scholarships, federal loans, and applicable veteran benefits fit their particular program.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Maryland, Baltimore?

Eligible UMB students may be able to work while enrolled through Federal Work-Study or other student jobs. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded through the financial aid process; unlike a grant, it is generally earned as wages for hours actually worked.

Students should submit the FAFSA and review their aid offer to see whether they have a work-study award. An award does not by itself assign a job. Campus departments and, where approved, community organizations may hire student workers, while ordinary part-time positions need not be work-study-funded. Program schedules deserve close attention: laboratory, clinical, field, and professional-school commitments can limit the hours a student can realistically work. School-specific career offices may separately assist with internships, resumes, interviews, and professional job searches.
